Albums On One CD

Old Fab Sounds. Old Topsy Turvy. Old Young Fresh Fellows. Perhaps the
only albums simultaneously recorded in a garage and a basement. Now
miraculously available on one shiny laser plate with DBLX digital
processing. Some people thought we should remix the first album to
bring the bass out. Or even have Jim go in and play the bass in his
own accomplished fashion. Well, the bass is often playing
hide-and-seek, but there's something special about Fab Sounds that made
people like us in the first place, so we decided not to mess with it.
Maybe someday when we have some spare time and money we'll give it a
go........ in other words, forget it. Turvey is still probably my
favorite Y.F.F. record, despite its associated history of headaches.
The One Exception to the "having a wild weekend" tact of our other LP's, for
various reasons i took almost a year to record, though from the start we
used the Helter-Skelter approach as the concept unifying the material.
David Fricke's great review in Rolling Stone made everyone in Seattle think
we'd really made it, but they were wrong! Like Princes' "Nasty Thighs"
LP, these records were meant to be enjoyed in their entirety, therefor
you'll discover any attempt at programming specific cuts to be in vain. So
call up your friends, slant a mighty beverage, and sit back and discuss:
The Young Fresh Fellows - The Early Years.
